    It sure thinks it's full... It won't even upload all the updates from a factory reset

    It's a shame that the factory apps are taking up over 3/4 of available memory and obviously more then Showing

    See prior post on how to view the Tablet on a computer.

    Once the explore window opens up, in the Root directory, look for Lost.dir.

    Open this folder up and delete everything. This is basically the "trash can." Once you do that how much more memory do you show now?

    When you download Apps, usually you have an option to change the location of where the App is stored. If you pick SD Card (external) then your apps will load there.

    Thanks,
    Mark

    This tablet was 100% factory restored as far as I know. There are no external apps and it thinks there is no room for updates.

    I can remote into it and check out the internal files/folders. I never had an issue with factory resets not taking the updates after.

    PM me to set up a time. I use Teamviewer.

    Thanks,
    Mark

    The .apk will only load the version and not the entire files needed.
